In response to the first issue the "medical" term is benign prostititis. It happen mostly in men over 40 and is really quite common (many of us suffer from this). Having the tests to rule out some of the "badthings" is the standard of care for this condition.
As for most of the negative information out reguarding naturopathic medications. The negative information is generally written by the Medical field or more spicifically the drug manufacturing companies. NET profits of drug companies last year were OVER 125 Billion dollars and they dont like the competition. (they also have enough money to hammer any opposition) Naturopathic medications when properly perscribed have been used in the US and Europe for millenia. This far exceeds the relatively young upstarts in the medical field. Once again there is more to health and healing than "chemo-therapy". Most of the nay sayers unfortunately are mis-informed on the subject and bias usually due to a lack of education on the relavant subjects.
Please dont misunderstand me this is NOT ment to insult ANYONE just to give a different and rather educated opinion.
